There are conflicts like when a new girl comes to school and is prettier or more talented than the existing mean girls. They see her as a threat to their status. So they start a campaign of bullying, like excluding her from group activities and whispering mean things about her in class. Also, a conflict can arise when a mean girl's best friend starts to become friends with someone she doesn't like. She might then try to break up that friendship.
Sure. One example is when two mean girl groups fight over who gets to be the 'queen bee' of the school. They'll spread nasty rumors about each other and try to turn other students against their rivals. Another is when a mean girl is jealous of a nice girl's relationship with a popular boy. So she'll try to break them up by lying to both of them.
Well, sometimes there's a conflict over a school project. A mean girl might want all the credit and push the other group members around. If another girl stands up to her, it creates a big conflict. Also, if a girl gets a lead role in a school play that a mean girl wanted, the mean girl will create problems. She might try to make the girl quit by making her feel bad about herself during rehearsals.
Sure. Character vs. nature can be a significant conflict. In 'Life of Pi', Pi has to survive on a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, facing the challenges of nature like storms and wild animals. This conflict tests his will to live.
As the phrase is a bit odd grammatically, if we consider 'High school is a story', an example could be the story of a high school athlete. He trains hard every day, faces competition from other schools, and has the story of his journey to victory or defeat in the sports season.
Sure. For man vs. man conflict, in 'Romeo and Juliet', the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets is a classic example. The two families' hatred for each other creates many problems for Romeo and Juliet. For man vs. nature, in 'The Old Man and the Sea', the old man has to struggle against the sea and the marlin. He endures the harsh conditions of the ocean to catch the fish. For man vs. self, in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', Dr. Jekyll battles his inner evil as he transforms into Mr. Hyde.
Sure. In 'Pride and Prejudice', the conflict between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy is quite interesting. Their initial pride and prejudice towards each other create a lot of tension. Elizabeth misjudges Darcy due to his haughty appearance, and Darcy has his own biases against Elizabeth's family. Their relationship is full of misunderstandings and this interpersonal conflict is a big part of what makes the story so engaging.
I'm not sure of specific 'bleached high school fanfic' examples off the top of my head. But it could be something like a story where the high school hallways are always brightly lit and clean to the point of being unnerving (the 'bleached' look), and the characters are dealing with some sort of mystery or relationship drama within that setting.
One story is about a mean girl who spread false rumors about a new student. She told everyone that the new girl had a criminal record just because she was jealous of the attention the new student got. It made the new girl really sad and she had a hard time making friends at first.
There are many. 'Gulliver's Travels' is one. Gulliver visits different lands, some of which have very high or strange features. For instance, in the land of the giants, everything is on a grand and high scale compared to him. Also, 'Moby - Dick' is set on the high seas, a story of Captain Ahab's obsession with the white whale. The vastness of the ocean and the high - risk nature of the hunt make it a great 'high story'.
Sure. 'The School Story' by Andrew Clements also features a strict school environment. In this story, the main character has to navigate the rules and expectations of her school while trying to pursue her writing dreams. And 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips' is set in a traditional English school with strict academic and social norms that the characters must abide by.
As mentioned before, not knowing the meaning of 'pntsed' makes it impossible to give examples.
In high school stories, the new kids are a type. They are the ones who have just transferred to the school and are trying to find their place. They can be shy or very outgoing in their attempts to fit in. There are also the teacher's pets. These students are always eager to please the teachers, raise their hands first in class, and often get special treatment. Moreover, the outcasts exist. They might be different in some way, like having unique interests or not following the mainstream fashion, and they tend to stick together.
